Chapter 294 Re-sign the treaty!

After Brown, Van der Laan and the others obediently performed the three-kneeling and nine-kowtow ceremony, Ao Bai, who was as majestic as a bear, said in a low voice.

"Which country are you all from? What is the strength of the navy? Can it beat the navy of the Ming thief?"

Obai, who is in his early 50s, is no longer young, but his body is still strong.

Even if he was wearing the cumbersome and heavy court clothes of the same style as the zombie, it still couldn't cover the muscles on his body.

Affected by the climate of the Little Ice River, the climate in Beijing is dry and cold in winter. Even if there is no snowfall, the temperature can reach an astonishing minus [-] to [-] degrees.

In stark contrast, Hong Chengchou on the side turned pale and coughed continuously.

But Aobai's complexion was still ruddy!
Brown and Van der Laan heard the words, and Van der Laan spoke first.

"My lord, I am Dutch!"

"The Netherlands has the most skilled shipbuilders and the most shipyards in the world, and we can manufacture the best ships in the world!"

"Seventy to eighty percent of the world's seagoing ships come from our Netherlands!"

Brown on the side heard the words, not afraid of being robbed of the business, and said in a very calm voice.

"I'm English!"

"The Netherlands' shipbuilding capabilities are indeed excellent, but when it comes to naval warfare, the Netherlands is the defeat of our England!"

Sonny, who was short and chubby, gathered the fur on his body and said.

"Dutchmen, Englishmen, aren't you Francines?"

Brown opened his mouth to explain.

"Francis refers to the Portuguese, and Portugal is only a small third-rate country in Europa."

"Britain is the most powerful country in Europe right now!"

"We defeated the Spaniards and the Dutch back and forth on the sea, and gained the supremacy of the sea!"

Sonny couldn't help but frowned.

"Which country is this Spain?"

Aobai interrupted.

"I don't care which country you are from, I just want to know, can you help the Qing build a navy and completely defeat the Ming thieves?"

Van der Laan spoke.

"The Netherlands has a large shipyard in Batavia, and a large fleet!"

"As long as the Qing Dynasty can promise us a small condition, we can directly take the fleet from Batavia without waiting for the time required for shipbuilding!"

"Or, our shipyard in Batavia can also customize ships according to the requirements of the Qing Dynasty!"

Aobai was lost in thought. It was a good thing that Xiyi was willing to sell to the Qing fleet, but would the Qing Dynasty really want to buy it directly?
At present, the coast of the Qing Dynasty is frequently harassed by Ming thieves, and it is very important to rebuild a navy!
Buying a ship directly and building a fleet is indeed the best choice right now!

But what about the future?
If Xiyi no longer sells Qing warships, wouldn't Qing want to catch them blind?

Although it takes a long time to build a ship by yourself, the advantage is that there will be no hidden dangers.

Aobai hesitated to make up his mind, then looked at the city Hong Chengchou, and asked.

"Heng Jiu, what do you think of this matter?"

Hong Chengchou coughed violently for a while, then spoke.

"What do you mean by conditions?"

Hong Chengchou stared straight at Fan der Lan, and he grasped the point very keenly.

Van der Laan spoke.

"City of Zeelandia!"

"The Ming people used despicable means to snatch away the city of Zeelandia that we Dutch have built up bit by bit in Dayuan Island for so long."

"As long as the Qing Dynasty promises to return Zeelandia City to us after defeating the Ming people, and allow the Netherlands to set up a trading station in Zeelandia City."

"And promise us the Netherlands to open the port, allow Dutch business missionaries to operate in the mainland of the Qing Dynasty, and other conditions!"

"The Batavian side will provide warships to the Qing Dynasty!"

Van der Laan's tone was firm, and his goal was clear.

This is not only what he meant, but also the meaning of Batavia's Governor Lobe.

Kui Yi lost the city of Zeelandia, and the 17-member board of directors was very angry about this.

Not only intends to hang Kui Yi to apologize, but also plans to take down Batavia's Governor Lobe.

This time sending people to the Qing court is because Luo Bei and Kui Yi are saving themselves.

They have to make achievements that satisfy the board of directors, such as taking back Batavia and opening up the Chinese market.

In order to avoid punishment!

It is also for this purpose that the Dutch participated in the Qing court's war to capture Dayuan.

Hong Chengchou coughed violently for a while, and then spoke.

"These conditions can be agreed, but Daqing also has one condition!"

Van der Laan spoke.

"Speaking!"

"The Qing Dynasty wants to start building ships at the Longjiang Shipyard. Please ask Batavia to send us a group of skilled craftsmen!"

Van der Laan pondered for a while, then spoke.

"Okay, on behalf of the governor, I agree to this matter!"

Hong Chengchou nodded in satisfaction, and asked Obai and Sony for their opinions with his eyes.

Obai and Sony also nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the Qing Dynasty seemed to be about to put him aside and reach an agreement with the Dutch, Brown couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and said.

"Several distinguished gentlemen, I admit that the Dutchman's shipbuilding is indeed very good!"

"But the Dutch are defeated by our English in naval battles!"

"If you want to talk about naval battle command, we still have to look at our England!"

Van der Laan on the side: "..."

Good guy, you are not as good at whipping corpses!

How many times have you said it back and forth? !

Aobai stroked his beard and spoke.

"In this case, the shipbuilding will be done by the Dutch."

"Let the English do the training of sailors and commanding naval battles!"

"I don't know what conditions you British want?"

Thinking of the prosperity of Macau, Brown felt envious in his heart, and then he made a decision and said.

"I, Daying, want to set up a commercial station on Hong Kong Island!"

"And also ask the Qing Dynasty to open up trade and missions to my Great Britain!"

Brown thought that if he wanted to set up a commercial station in Guangzhou, he was afraid that the Qing Dynasty would not agree.

But for Hong Kong Island, the Qing Dynasty should agree!

Because the current Hong Kong Island is just a deserted island, and it is still a deserted island in the hands of the Ming people.

He felt that the Qing court had no reason to refuse!

Sony and Aobai decided to agree, and the matter was settled.

Van der Laan spoke.

"There's no evidence for what you say, let's sign a treaty!"

Brown also echoed.

"Yes, sign a treaty!"

Ao Bai and Suo Suo looked at Hong Chengchou in unison.

Hong Chengchou nodded slightly and said.

"it is good!"

Brown suggested.

"Since this treaty was signed in bj, how about calling it "bj treaty"?"

Hong Chengchou naturally would not refuse.

Because it doesn't matter to him, the conditions are agreed, and the treaty is signed, but this does not prevent the Qing Dynasty from going back on its word, doesn't it?

Anyway, the Qing court was not prepared to really mean what it said!
Just kidding, it is a national policy for me to close the country and close the country!

What is national policy?

What is unshakable and never changed is called national policy!
The promise now is just to use the power of the western barbarians to deal with Ming thieves.

That's it!

Obai and the others came forward to negotiate with the Dutch and the British. When signing the treaty, Hong Chengchou, a Hanchen, signed the treaty, just to make it easier for them to regret it in the future.

Because, if Kang Mazi came forward to negotiate or sign a treaty in person, it would be difficult to make excuses for repenting, because you are not joking!
